Hello Green Mamba
welcome to the club!
Nice Z1R you've found! And with a very low frame number, congratulations.
You can find a lot of inormation in Tony Sculpher's book "Kawasaki (K)Z1000 z1-R".
In it you can find very practical information about the history of your bike and a lot of tips and tricks on how to restore it.
Go for it, good luck!
Greetings from Belgium
